Overview of this book

Bootstrap is the most popular open source project on GitHub today. With a little bit of know-how, this massively popular CSS framework can leveraged for any type of complex web application or website. Bootstrap Site Blueprints Volume II will teach you to build these types of projects in an easy-to-understand fashion. The key to any complex Bootstrap project is a strong development foundation for your project. The book will first teach you how to build a Bootstrap development environment using Harp.js, Node, and Less. In the next chapters, we’ll build on this foundation by creating restaurant and mobile-first aggregator projects. Once you’re warmed up, we’ll move on to more complex projects such as a wiki, a new magazine, a dashboard, and finally a social networking website. Whether you are brand new to Bootstrap or a seasoned expert, this book will provide you with the skills you need to successfully create a number of popular web applications and websites.

Summary


That brings the second chapter to a close. We built on what you learned in Chapter 1, Advanced Bootstrap Development Tools, and used it to create a restaurant website. Let's review what we learned. We learned how to build out actual pages with our Harp development environment; import and use the Font Awesome web icon library; import and use open source Google Web Fonts; use and customize Bootstrap components such as the modal, page header, and carousel; create a Harp partial that is used within a page template; use design principles when laying out grids and type to create a unique look with Bootstrap; and create and insert a custom Google map into our website.
